Homemade Sour Hard Candies

Steps:
- Squeeze lemons until you get 1 cup of fresh juice.
- Combine lemon juice and sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Boil mixture until thick and syrupy-about 20-30 minutes, stirring regularly. Test the syrup by dropping a small bit into cold water-if it crystallizes and becomes brittle, it's ready!
- Spray down a mini muffin tin or silicone mold with cooking spray and add heated mixture to the tin/mold. Fill each mini muffin cup less than halfway full, or fill small silicone molds about ¾ full. (I used a cooking syringe to help transfer my syrup into the silicone molds.)
- Transfer filled molds to the fridge to cool until hardened, ~1-2 hours.
- Pop out and enjoy!
- Yields 30 homemade lemon drop hard candies.

- Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter at medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg, sour cream, and lemon juice until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
- Drop the dough by slightly rounded tablespoons 3-inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Gently press one piece of gumdrop into the center of each cookie. Or if you prefer, you can chop up the gumdrops and put a few pieces on top of each.
- Bake 10 to 11 minutes, or until the tops are firm. While baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small mixing bowl stir together the sugar and warmed lemon juice. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack. Brush the tops of the warm cookies with lemon glaze. Let the cookies cool.
